Cowles, son of Cleveland Leader editor, as his sister in law and Hale clashed over Cowles alleged infidelity and a disputed estate. Hale, Cowles' brother‑in‑law, fired after Cowles drew a weapon while demanding his wife’s share of the estate. Cowles survived with injuries to the neck and jaw as prosecutors await further inquiry.
